The husband, I say.

NICOBULUS

Prithee, is she married then?

CHRYSALUS

You’ll know before very long.

NICOBULUS

Wretch that I am; I’m utterly undone.

CHRYSALUS

How now? Does Chrysalus seem such a villain to you?

Come, chain me now[*], and do listen to your son. Didn’t I tell you that you would discover what sort of person he is?

NICOBULUS

What shall I do now?

CHRYSALUS

Order me at once to be released, if you please; for, if I’m not released, he’ll just now be overpowering the young man in our presence.

CLEOMACHUS

There’s no gain that I should this day take so much delight in making,

as I should in falling upon him as he reclines with her, so that I might kill them both.

CHRYSALUS
(to NICOBULUS.)

Don’t you hear what he says Why don’t you order me to be released?

NICOBULUS
(to the SLAVES.)

Unbind him. I’m ruined; wretch that I am! I’m in a dreadful fright.
